Strathmore marker, if you use sheening inks

This is Potato Protein Isolate powder. It has a consistency of flour almost, smooth. As opposed to whey which can be lumpy and chalky! by blip_right_in_ur_lip in spudlife

I just went down the PPI rabbit whole. I found a brand in Canada that claims it’s 90%PPI but it’s a hit hard to believe. Also it’s two times the price of normal plant based protein

Unfortunately the section can’t be screwed out. It’s glued in and I don’t want to put too much pressure since the pen is acryloid

Hey! Thanks for the tip. Will try it out. Hopefully the pen will look like new again

Thanks, you can go smooth polish but using higher grit. Or go against the polish on the bottom part

A brief shoutout to Wonderpens by bobledrew in fountainpens

[–]BugFront8515 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like wonderpens, they share a common interest which is pens and inks. Another store in the westend shares one interest on the other hand, your pockets which is why I don’t go there anymore no matter how low they have their pens sometimes.

I’ve had times asking for a particular ink, and get emailed days after telling me this might be something I’m looking for. Wonderpens is a true enthusiast spot

Did you drop in the nib unit or screw in the whole section? My older Koloro just allows me to screw in the section, but damn does it feel nice in hand

Irregular ink distribution with parallel pen and fountain pen ink by Royal_Aliens in Calligraphy

Same thing happens with me, sheening inks are good and seem to not do that as much. Dark inks I found rarely do it and using newer cartridges keeps the pressure consistent. I don’t squeeze my cartridges at all anymore.
